Floyd County won the girls’ race with Salem fourth and Glenvar sixth among eight teams in the field. Brooke Bowers led the Spartans with a ninth place finish in 23:01 while Olivia Hurd of William Byrd won the race in 21:15. Elizabeth Bocock was next for Salem in 11th place, followed by Ryan Long, Callie Conner and Lyndsye Rothkopf.
